بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي عِتْقِ الْمُكَاتَبِ وَأُمِّ وَلَدِهِChapter on What is Reported Regarding Emancipation of a Mukatab and His Umm Walad
Hadith 1300Q14
قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الرَّجُلِ يُكَاتِبُ عَبْدَهُ. ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ الْمُكَاتَبُ وَيَتْرُكُ أُمَّ وَلَدِهِ. وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ بَقِيَّةٌ وَيَتْرُكُ وَفَاءً بِمَا عَلَيْهِ : إِنَّ أُمَّ وَلَدِهِ أَمَةٌ مَمْلُوكَةٌ حِينَ لَمْ يُعْتَقِ الْمُكَاتَبُ حَتَّى مَاتَ. وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ وَلَدًا فَيُعْتَقُونَ بِأَدَاءِ مَا بَقِيَ فَتُعْتَقُ أُمُّ وَلَدِ أَبِيهِمْ بِعِتْقِهِمْ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person makes his slave a mukatab (one who has a contract for freedom), then the mukatab dies and leaves behind an umm walad (a slave woman who has borne a child to her master), and leaves behind enough wealth to fulfill the contract of kitabah, then that umm walad will become the slave of the mukatab’s master, because the mukatab was not free at the time of his death, nor did he leave behind any offspring by whom the umm walad would also become free.
